Looks good man. The engine does look really clean. At least that is one thing that appears to be what you were actually told.

Keep it going man.

bjcaldwe · 04-25-2010, 11:57 AM

Keep it up Joe, looking good.

Driveway Dreams · 04-25-2010, 10:54 PM

Very nice Joe. Why does your motor seem to sit so low in the engine bay? Maybe it is just me? Hopefully I will have some similar photos of my truck soon. But I understand the $0 budget. That is why I can make the progress comments I do. (See, I justify them.

)(I might take offense if the some of the things I say came from guys like Bob or Dennis.)

Must be you, it appears to sit like it is suppose to....I'll investigate further in the daylight

JohnC · 04-26-2010, 09:16 AM

The only parts I kept are the stock steering wheel. I have the 85-87 grille that we picked up that day at pull-a-part. A set of repop headlight bezels for the 85-87, a dash bezel, and the bed rails.

planning on a trip to DFW to get my gas tank Saturday, and probably check out the Pate swap meet while we are down there.
We will see what the weather is like Sunday.
